Hyatt Place I-Drive guests have one of the easiest dinner decisions in Orlando: walk to Vincenzo Cucina Italiana at ICON Park. No driving, no rideshare, no parking hassle — just a short stroll to handmade Italian food, a full bar, and complimentary valet if you do bring a car.
The menu is built for every appetite: start with creamy burrata and prosciutto, then move to the lobster ravioli, chicken parmigiana, or a 10-ounce filet mignon with truffle butter. The homemade gnocchi in pomodoro with burrata and basil oil is the dish that first-timers order once and regulars order every visit.
The linguine with clams — Middle Neck clams sauteed in garlic, parsley, and white wine — is a textbook Italian classic done with precision and respect. The short rib pappardelle with marsala cream and wild mushrooms is for those who want something richer and more indulgent.
Desserts are all made in-house: tiramisu, chocolate mousse, Nutella cheesecake, limoncello cake. They are worth the walk and then some.
Where Every Plate Tells a Story
Hand-rolled gnocchi, slow-simmered sauces, steaks cut fresh daily. Real Italian cooking.
Vincenzo was built by a family that wanted to create the kind of Italian restaurant they grew up loving. The Navarra Group, with more than three decades in hospitality, opened on International Drive in 2014 and has earned the trust of over 4,000 reviewers across Google, OpenTable, and TripAdvisor.
The philosophy is uncomplicated: source the best ingredients, prepare everything from scratch, hire people who care, and treat every guest the way you would treat someone at your own table. That approach has made Vincenzo a destination for locals and tourists alike.
Private events in the Amalfi Room accommodate 15 to 50 guests. Full restaurant buyouts seat up to 150. More than 1,500 events — rehearsal dinners, birthdays, corporate gatherings, family reunions — have been hosted with custom Italian menus and dedicated coordination.
The Navarra family is present, involved, and invested. That is the difference between a restaurant and someone's life work.
Romantic atmosphere without being stuffy. Great wine list. The sea bass was cooked perfectly. This is our new go-to Italian spot.

Brought a group of twelve for my wife’s birthday and they handled everything perfectly. The Amalfi Room was gorgeous. Food was outstanding.

Dishes That Define Vincenzo
Ossobuco over saffron risotto. Lobster ravioli in cream sauce. The plates that built our reputation.
At Vincenzo, the bar is not an afterthought — it is a reason to arrive early. Classic Negronis, refreshing Aperol Spritzes, and rich Espresso Martinis are crafted by bartenders who know their way around Italian spirits. The wine list spans Italian regions and California appellations.
Happy hour pricing runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM: $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, $10 cocktails. On Wine Down Wednesdays, all wines by the glass are half off for the entire evening — a deal that draws wine lovers from across the I-Drive corridor.
For groups and events, the Amalfi Room provides private dining for 15 to 50 guests. Full restaurant buyouts are available for parties up to 150. Custom Italian menus and AV support are included, and the Vincenzo events team has coordinated over 1,500 gatherings.
From a solo cocktail at the bar to a 100-person corporate dinner, Vincenzo scales gracefully without sacrificing quality or warmth.
We eat here every time we visit Orlando. The Aperol Spritz is perfect, the burrata is creamy and fresh, and the vibe is exactly right. Love this place.
